They exist to peel back the tough layers and expose the softness inside.

Alejandro Jodorowsky, cineasta, tarólogo, psicomago, novelista, invitando a una mutación en lo más profundo del ser, explora los meandros del alma humana con "humildad de perro", sin dictar pretenciosas sentencias de filólosofo o de maestro místico. "La facultad de pensar es el más cruel regalo que los dioses nos han dado". Poemas que mezclan a la vez la realidad de un mundo cruel y maravilloso, entre sagrado y profano. Palabra tras palabra, como se deshojan uno a uno los pétalos de una flor, Jodorowsky busca un camino entre las espinas.
